“Tastiest homemade pasta! The bolognese melted in my mouth and you can absolutely tell the pasta is freshly made. My favorite dish!!”
“The best angel hair pasta! I'm The pickiest when it comes to this dish and it's done to perfection at Filomena's! It's flavorful and the flavor profile is balanced. I also love the grilled artichoke (that dipping sauce!) and the garlic cheese bread. I love that it's a local neighborhood spot with amazing food and great service!”
“I feel like the way to tell if an Italian restaurant is worthy is by their meatballs, and Filomena's does not disappoint! We got the appetizer with meatballs and sausage (because I didn't want another pasta dish but wanted to try them out) and both were flavorful, meaty, and moist. It was also covered in this absolutely delicious marinara sauce and had globs of ricotta and melted mozzarella on the edges. I only wish we ordered some garlic bread to soak up the delicious sauce!”
“The Italian sub sandwich is amazing. Huge sandwich! Fresh meats. The best cheeses. Hot peppers. The bread has a light crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. Reminds me of Real Authentic Italian deli's like I remember from Chicago. Love this place.”
“We ordered this to share the first time we tried it but now we have to get 2 orders because it is so good we want to eat it all!”
“I've had so many delicious meals here-you cant go wrong! I chose the calamari because getting it take out can be tricky, but this was still crispy and ot "rubbery" as we devoured it in our living room.”
